2 days onwards and we finally have our legs back.
We spent our first day back in Victoria, letting various laundry items, our bedstuff, our tent dry, and went whale watching on a small zodiac.

This was a fun, and most importantly: we were sitting. Though cold, since we spent the whole trip being strafed by cold wind. We saw a lot of sea lions from fairly close, even smelt them (slightly gone off fish), and saw a few humpback whales surface and dive again. No killer whales, though we heard a few interesting things about them: it seems they also conform to culture and traditions. You have the transient orca’s, who wander in small groups and eat sea mammals. Then you have the resident orca’s, who live together in large groups, and feed on the schools of salmon in the region. Exactly the same race, but different behaviours, habits, and even different language.

Next day, our things finally dry and clean (unlike our room, which was a sandy mess, we left a decent tip for the cleaning crew), we adjourned to Vancouver by way of bus and ferry. Again, lots of sitting (good thing).
When we arrived in Vancouver, the day was grey and pretty morose. We left our bags at the hostel, and then went wandering.
